Finale:You Look Like Peter Pan - Amazing Race 13In the 13th-season finale, the remaining teams travel from Moscow to Portland, Oregon, on the last leg of the race, with the winning duo receiving a check for $1 million.

Amazing Race in Portland?DASHING FOR DOLLARS: *Forget next Tuesday’s primary, the real race is already underway. *Although officials at the Port of Portland cannot confirm rumors, CBS-TV’s The Amazing Race 13 , which pits teams against each other in a race around the world, has touched down in Portland now through Thursday, May 15 .

Teams may have done tasks at Port of Cascades Locks?reference here & here.

Well, I went down there again to check out the scene. Parked my car & lo and behold, what do I see but two people driving away in one of the minivans from the closed off lot. Jumped back in the car to follow it - they drove down to 2nd av. and are parked in front of voodoo donut. I bet they have or will have a shoot there - it's a weird Portland thing. Two people waiting in the car. Wish they would leave so I could follow them some more..

Well, sorry peeps, I had to come back to work.. After about half an hour of waiting, I walked by the van and it is a couple PAs waiting for something. Literally doing a crossword. I did see a conversation they had with what looked like the manager of Voodoo Donut. I went in there to get me a donut and asked the clerk when the Amazing Race was going to be there. He gave me a blank stare - so maybe the staff doesn't know about it, or has been instructed to not answer. Maybe they are just getting donuts for the crew.. who knows. Now I'm back to paying

Jason writes on May 15th, 2008 3:11amThere was a clue box right in front of VooDoo donuts, I was there today. When nobody was close to coming, the producers would cover the box with a trash bag but when people were nearby, they would uncover the box and shoo anyone away that was standing near it. It was probably one of the last clues if the Pittock Mansion was the last stop.

They are in Portland today. I was on 5th and Salmon outside my office and two different sets of couples ran by (guy/girl and girl/girl) with a camerman and soundman each. It looked too like Amazing Race not to be.

I just ran down the street in Portland following two girls and the camera crew.The went to voodoo doughnuts (for a clue I think) Police talked to producers because fans were running after the racers.They thought someone was running out on a meal bill... the team got into the van and drove off.

I know, girl/girl was stupid.....I was a little excited about the siting. I saw them about 1:55pm running North. But, I did notice they looked awfully rested, not frazzled at all....maybe decoys.sammyk

I followed the girls, and the camera... I would bet money this was a decoy, Sammyk you nailed it. The girls got into a WRP van near the Voodoo Doughnuts, the were asking people along the way where Voodoo was... YET NO CLUE was to be found there. They all got into a van and drove off.

With many thanks to our incredible Portland photographer who has been hard at work on our behalf!!

I'm pleased to report that I saw a male-male team in downtown Portland this evening (peach: that would be 5/14) at about 6:00 local time. A cameraman and a sound man were following them.

I saw them head west along Alder, then south on 10th, then east on Morrison. They asked for directions at the food carts that occupy the parking lot north of Alder, and they looked at a metal map kiosk at the corner of 10th and Morrison.

They looked to be mid to late 20s or even maybe early 30s. Both were wearing khaki trousers; the taller one was slightly heavyset and had reddish curly hair and was wearing a baseball cap and a blue T-shirt. The other had blonde to sandy blonde hair and no hat. Both had backpacks.What struck me, though, was how slowly they were moving compared to my expections. They certainly were not running. I don't know if this means they are a decoy, or that they are real but exhausted, or that they are real and in last place, or what.

I often buy magazines at a store on 9th & Alder, so I asked the cashier there if I knew anything about TAR in Portland. He said, "Oh, is that what that was?" I said, "Is that what WHAT was?" He said he had seen a male and a female plus two-man crew also proceeding along Alder. I asked him when that was. He said about two hours previously, which puts it at around 4:00 p.m. I asked him if he recalled any other details; he said he did not, except that the girl was pretty. :-/

I did not have a camera with me, but where they were is VERY central location; and while Portland is considerably less densely occupied than, say, LA or even Denver, I will be very surprised if no one here managed to take a reasonable picture of at least one of the teams.

I asked our source if these guys could maybe be who he saw?

And so sadly, since we don't even know their names yet (that seems so wrong somehow!), he replied:

Oooh! Yes, I do think so! Their relative heights and hair colors match!

I was waiting to pick my boyfriend up at International arrivals around Noon today. saw a young couple, very fit and attractive and then 2 sisters (they looked related) also young and wearing matching nike workout gear- they definitely stood out, then when a camera crew w/ tons of gear started filming them running thru the terminal, well that's when it clicked! the A.R!! i love the show and had NO idea they might be in PDX. so, my boyfriend saw them in customs and he thought they had come from Moscow before PDX.Cool! can't wait to see it on TV.

i don't recognize the teams i saw from any of those pics- the couple (i am assuming that by the way- could be bro/ sis) she had dark hair, he had dark blond hair. very fit and looked like the had just climbed a mtn.

I saw TAR teams today as well at PDX. I drive the international buses at PDX but not today. However, I was driving the terminal parking lot buses today and saw a camera man /sound man running after a very tan blond woman in a florescent green sporty outfit, backpack and one of those TAR clue cards (?) in her hand just about the time the Germany flight would have landed. They were getting a taxi here at PDX. I had to keep my eyes on my driving but a person in the bus said they were from The Amazing Race.

My next loop around (20 minutes later), I arrived at the terminal and saw more teams grabbing a taxi. Fortunately I was driving the Employee lot bus and one of the supervisors (who got on camera & had to sign a TAR release for TV) confirmed that the teams in fact were from TAR and got off the Lufthansa flight from Germany to Portland OR. They were headed up to Washington state. He also said there were only 4 teams and perhaps the other two teams went up via Seattle first - but that of course is purely speculation.

Just talked with a co-worker whose husband was hiking in the Columbia Gorge at about 2:30 pm and saw racing teams, vehicles and a helicopter in the vicinity of Bridge of the Gods. He wasn't sure what it was until she called him about the Portland rumor. Could it be the race?

I work in Cascade Locks, and there is a zip line in place right now from the Bridge of the Gods to Thunder Island. I don't know when they put it up, but it sure wasn't there yesterday! I got there in time to see the camera crews packing up and loading equipment into vans, but a fellow teacher saw two couples ride the zip line down to the island. This was between 2:30-3:30 this afternoon. There were helicopters circling the site, three camera crews at and around the bridge, and they apparently paid the owners of the Charburger restaurant to close for the day so they could secure the parking lot which overlooks the river and the zip line. There were six yellow cabs at the parking lot where the access to the island is, along with more camera crews, and the officer that I talked to said they always stage it so that people don't know for sure how many couples are left. Does that sound reasonable?The other teacher talked to one of the cab drivers, who said he picked up two people at the airport from an overseas flight, took them to Newberg where they "ran around and looked for a clue", then drove them to Cascade Locks. For some reason someone asked him if this was Fear Factor, but he said it was more like a scavenger hunt. Apparently he has not actually seen Amazing Race himself, so didn't know anything about the usual process.

Title sounds like something that would be said about Nick, Starr, Dallas or Toni. I don't see it being a Dandrew comment, and lets face it Ken is huge I would say it about him Though I suppose it could be about Tina (but I doubt it)

It would probably be said about Starr or Toni, but that's just my guess.
